Lithic Studies Around The World: Different Views Of The Human Past Through Stone Tool Analysis
Organized By
Pierre Desrosiers (Avataq Cultural Institute and Université Sorbonne, France)
Session Details
As stated by numerous archaeologists, our knowledge of the major part of the history of humanity depends mainly on lithic studies since it is often the only remains of past human activities. Thus, this session emphasises recent developments in lithic studies all around the world with the objective to share different experiences, visions and specific regional difficulties or success in the understanding of prehistoric behaviour through the study of lithic productions. Raw material procurement strategies, technology, typology, spatial analysis are used to appreciate the peopling of the world from the circumpolar north to southern hemisphere and from Africa to America passing through Asia.

Ethnoarchaeology: Contributions And Developments
Organized By
Mari Carmen Serra Puche (Mexico) and Carmen Arellano (Peru)
Session Details
This session will explore the development of this discipline in the past decade, and the contribution to research and interpretation of indigenous cultures. It also aims to fill the historical gap in the data that has been pointed out as a pitfall. Work with indigenous people is part of the mainstream in ethnoarchaeological fieldwork, and this session will bring together both the experience of practitioners and the impact ethnoarchaeology has among indigenous people.
